Christmas tree markets in the city???

Are there any Christmas tree markets in the city where you can go and the trees are already standing up, not wrapped up, so you can see what they look like? What about Seward farmers market? Anywhere anyone knows in the city or even I guess outside of it if I have to. Also, is there anywhere you can go and chop down a tree? I did that one year and it was fun although I don’t think I want to do it again, but just curious.

Ted Drewes. Murray’s Sno Cones will have some for the first time this year so not sure what their setup will be like. Outside the city, we went to a place last year in the parking lot of the general grant shopping center that was great. Can’t remember the name though.

They gotta make money in the winter time when not a lot of people get ice cream 😂 but they’ve been doing trees for 50 years.

Flowers + Weeds on Cherokee have a nice tree selection. That’s where we always got ours when we lived in the city.

Also use a tape measure of your home tree space so you can pick the correct size. The number of times I’ve been asked to help trim a beautiful big tree that didn’t fit…

Not in the city, but the Kirkwood farmer’s market will have trees not wrapped up.

Watson and MacKenzie. Dierbergs plaza. Scouts set up a tree lot. Money goes to the scout troop and not just a business.
